SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 681,592, dated August 27, 1901.

Application filed April 25, 1901.

To @ZZ when?, it' may concern.-

Beit known that I, Jol-IN JOSEPH TINKER, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Hyde, in the county of Chester, England, (whose post-of'ii ce address is DaisyField Boiler Works, Hyde, in the county of Chester, Kingdom of Great Britain,) have invented new and useful Improvements in Blotting-Paper and Blotting-Pads, (forwhich I have made application for patentsin Great Britain, No. 14,992, dated August 22, 1900, and in Germany, Serial No. 7,114, dated September 1, 1900,) of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in blotting-paper or blotting-pads, the obj ect being chiefly to provide a blotting-paper or blottin g-pad which shall completely absorb fluids or moisture and more readily than heretofore has been the case. I attain this object in the manner, for example, as illustrated in the anneXed drawings, in which- Figures 1 and 4 are face views, and Fig. 2 a section of Fig. 1, of pieces of blotting-paper; and Fig. 3, asection of a blotting-pad formed in accordance with my invention.

Similarletters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

To this end and referring to the figures generally my invention consists in forming blotting-paper d or blotting-pads o, either in Serial No. 57,494. (No specimens.)

the manufacture thereof or afterward, with perforations or holes c, so that when such blotting-paper or blotting-pads are pressed upon the fluid or moisture the air below the blotting-paper or blotting-pad is allowed to escape through the said perforations or holes and will draw with it the fluid or moisture around the latter, which prevents the iiuid or moisture smearing,` or blurring the surface to which it has been applied. The said perforations or holes may be so arranged in the blotting-paper or blotting-pad, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3 or as shown in Fig. 4, to represent designs, letters, figures, or the like, serving for identification or advertising purposes. The said perforations or holes may be either formed in the blotting-paper or blotting-pad by cutting, punching, piercing, pricking, or otherwise, as may be found most convenient.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

Blotting-paper having numerous closelyset perforations, substantially as described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my 55 hand in presence of two witnesses.
